The woman snapped one more picture before she lowered the camera, she looked to Peggy. "Oh, hello!" She greeted with a gentle smile. "I'm Mary."

Peggy kept her gun trained on the woman’s chest. “Would you like to explain yourself, Mary?” She raised an eyebrow. “I’m going to be taking that camera, unfortunately. Or at least the memory card.”

It's time for another adventure of Verden, the Green Gummy Bear!
When we last left our hero, Verden had successfully helped to overthrow the Great Green Merciless Emperor, only one short day after defecting from the Emperor's Royal Guard. Now, eight years later, Verden has worked tirelessly to atone for the atrocities he helped commit in the name of the Emperor.
"A new danger now threatens to overtake us." Verden tells the assembled bears. "It could destroy the peace we've worked so hard to maintain these last eight years."
"Mecha-Bot the Destroyer has taken up residence atop the Gumball Dispenser." Verden explains. "From that vantage point, he can blast anyone and anything in our kingdom with ease."
"We will gain access to the Gumball Dispenser via the Tower of Yellow to the East. From there we will ambush Mecha-Bot and neutralize this threat to our land. It's a daunting task."
"Fortunately," the former guardsman continues. "We've got some very powerful allies on our side. This is Agent Carter, and my psychiatrist, Dr. Indigo Dragonstein."
"There's no one better to help us in our struggle."
Late that night, under cover of darkness, Verden, Agent Carter, and Dr. Dragonstein approach the Tower of Yellow, and prepare to infiltrate.
Their path is blocked by Charmander, who demands to know why they have come.
Verden puts on his best diplomatic voice, first cultivated during his time with the Emperor's Royal Guard, and refined over the years during his service as an Agent of SHIELD. "We are here to fight an enemy who threatens all of us, including the residents of the Tower of Yellow."
"Oh, you mean Mecha-Bot?" Charmander says. "Yeah, that guy's a dick. By all means, have at it."
As the sun rises over their shared kingdoms, the small team of heroes ascends the Tower of Yellow and prepares for their confrontation with the enemy.
"Mecha-Bot!" Verden calls out as Dr. Dragonstein flies him close to the automaton's perch—
"—wait," Verden says to his shrink. "If you can fly, then what was even the purpose of infiltrating the tower?"
"For the drama," Dr. Dragonstein says gleefully.
"Whatever." Verden returns his focus to the robot atop the Gumball Dispenser. "Mecha-Bot, we have come here to—"
"It's no use, Gummy Bear!" Mecha-Bot taunts him. "I shall never alight from my perch! I shall blast everything within my sight and I—waugghhhh!"
And just like that, Mecha-Bot slips from his precarious perch and crashes to the ground.
"Well that was rather anticlimactic," Agent Carter says. "I didn't even get to throw a punch."
Verden looks down upon the wreckage of the once-great robot. "We could have resolved this peacefully," he says with a sigh. ".....after Agent Carter landed a few punches, of course."
Back home, Verden lays on the psychiatrist's couch. "I don't know, Doc, it kind of feels like we didn't really do anything."
"But nevertheless, our kingdom is safe," Dr. Dragonstein reminds him. "And our people know that you made the effort to help keep it that way."
"You're right," Verden agrees, standing. "I guess the only way any of us can go is forward."
